It's very important that people don't mistake your work-in-progress, for a finished work (that is badly made or unfinished) as they almost assuredly will if not adequately informed.

Hello guys, Brian here again. It has been a bit but man have we been busy. We are fast approaching our (hopeful) launch date of 4/15. This means it is crunch time. The to do list is thankfully getting shorter and things are coming together nicely. What we have is looking more and more like a game a…

[twitter]brian_matthys[/twitter] has been bugging me, relentlessly to post another update.
But, for those of you who know me best; I often get wrapped up in the implementation, more so than the telling.

Wait what? An update that isn't one month apart?
Indeed; things are moving faster; this weekend saw implementation of the Quests UI and the NPC Talk UI.
Both extremely key to moving the project forward.
Next on the chopping block is to re-hook-up combat; with modifications per the new UI.

Things have been coming along quite well; and while I could go into the nitty gritty detail; I think it is better to just show some progress.

Greetings all,
Seems I am on-par with my monthly updates.
First off, I'd like to say; sorry the changes to Revel are taking so long; but I can say a large part of this delay has been through prototyping and having the resolve to say:
"Nah.. that doesn't look/play/feel/sound/smell good."
Instead of sim…

I am well aware that if a journal post contains no images it tends to get no meaningful feedback.
So, since I am not yet ready to release new screens of Revel; I won't waste your time exaustively listing development minutua that it seems no one cares about.
Instead, I will merely state that developme…

The result is that a pretty significant internal milestone has been reached in the re-design of Revel Immortal.

Hi all,
Way too long since my last update (~2 weeks).

I now have Morning walking about and can place down various structures.
I also spent considerable time stripping out a bunch of unneeded code and making …
